We are expressing our interest for applying for the call and we would like to confirm that the current donor funded program activities and budget is considered as an applicant contribution and considered as co-financing to move forward with the concept note required.

Your expression of interest is well received. The current donor-funded activities and budget can be considered as co-funding, as long as the grant does not come from the Dutch Government, except for venture capital or debt finance originating from the Dutch Good Governance Fund or FMO. We will review the level of additionality for each project critically.
